Evan Williams Posts Official Google Blog

Posted by timothy on from the fawning-attention dept.

Luis F. Escalante writes "Evan, creator of Blogger, owned by Google, finally convinced Larry, Sergey and Co. to start up a blog. According to Evan's first post, we'll soon be able to know "What Larry had for breakfast. What Sergey thinks of that Hellboy movie. Which Dawson's Creek character reminds us most of Eric.""

    So, what did Larry have for breakfast?

    Yes, the Idea Man! What're his hopes and dreams, his desires and aspirations? Does he think all the time or does he set aside a certain portion of the day? How tall is he and what's his shoe size? Where does he sleep and what does he eat for breakfast? Does he put jam on his toast or doesn't he put jam on his toast, and if not why not and since when?

      1. The Big Screen doesn't really add anything to some movies. This is one of those movies you rent, not pay 16 bucks to see with strangers.

      2.The Coen Brothers are fantastic film makers who do not cater to the lowest common denominator.

      3. The people who don't get the Coen Brothers are the same ones who are afraid of Dihydrogen Monoxide.

    Finally! Insight into the making of Evan Williams. I can't tell you how many mornings I've woken up, hung-over, wondering: (besides, 'What happened last night?') "How do they make that whiskey so damn drinkable?" Now I'll finally get the answer!

    Oh.. wait...
